Here is where I stand with the download process with Vista RC1. I never like
to use freeware as it usually never works right or is so week you have to buy
the full version just to get what you want. So I tried the Free Download
Manager. It worked without a problem. I opened the download manager did a
copy and past of the url for the browser download and it did its thing. Got
interrupted once but I pushed download and it picked right back up. All this
after trying for days to use the “suggested†download program and also unable
to download Vista using explorer. I was getting error messages on Akami from
Vista telling me that I can not install the Active X from Akami. Yes, I
checked every security setting, turned off all firewall and virus programs
and still Beta 2 would not let me use Akami. Trying to use the browser method
I could only get 7mb of the program. SO, Free Download Manager worked for me
Now to the installation problem. Vista RC1 will not load. I get 21% into the
process and it shuts down and tells me that it encountered a problem and can
not continue, click cancel and the computer will be restored to its original
state, WRONG. It took me 3 hours to get my computer to boot up and it still
is not right. I took the chance and tried to load the program again hoping
that it just ran into a glitch the first time and again 21% and it stops.
I am at the point of downloading RC1 again and see if I had a download
problem.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
